Fresh Dry Petha 1kg

Description

Dry Petha is a candy-like version of the traditional soft petha sweet made from ash gourd. It originates from the city of Agra in India, where petha is very popular. To make dry petha, long slices of ash gourd are soaked in sugar syrup flavored with rosewater and kewra. The soaked slices are then dried out completely until they become very firm and chewy. The final product is translucent candy-like pieces that are crystallized with sugar. It comes in various shapes like squares, rectangles or diamonds. Dry petha has a sweet and mildly floral taste. The texture is initially crispy and crunchy but softens as it dissolves in the mouth.
